05- 071 C.M.R. ch. 128, § 14
In the legislation, provision is made for schools unable to provide an alternative program for chronic (habitual) truants and dropouts. In this instance, schools may tuition pupils to neighboring administrative units or to private schools; it is necessary that policies and procedures be developed to accommodate this practice. All receiving schools must be approved by this office under the basic school approval program. Record keeping procedures should be locally developed for maintaining records of pupils enrolled in alternative programs on the basis of .1 pupil for each semester credit course or its equivalent leading toward a high school graduation. Such records will also be necessary for pupils tuitioned to neighboring units or private schools. Any pupil enrolled in an alternative program shall be counted on the rolls of the sending unit for subsidy purposes. No pupil shall be counted in the aggregate as more than 1.0.
